Students’ spending money

Manage students’ spending money without cash in the bag

Pocket money goes to school on Monday and is gone by Wednesday; with Pocket Moni, parents top up online and see every item bought.

Pocket Moni and the tuck shop are live today · the offline till is an add-on

The cost of waiting

Cash in a school bag leaves no record

The parent

Monday’s money is gone by Wednesday.

Lost, lent or spent. Nobody can tell which.

More for parents
The tuck shop attendant

A queue, a tin of notes, no change.

At close, the tin does not match the shelf.

Questions

What parents and bursars ask

Who sets the spending limits?
The school. Limits are daily, weekly or monthly, for the whole school, a class or one child.
What happens when a child tries to spend past the limit?
The sale is blocked at the till before it goes through, so the child is not overdrawn.
Can parents see what their child bought?
Yes. Pocket Moni shows what was bought, item by item, and the balance after every top-up and sale.
Can a child’s Pocket Moni be stopped?
Yes. The school can freeze and unfreeze it, and it freezes by itself when a child leaves.
